Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. An apparatus and a method performed by the same in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The method includes: receiving configuration information from a base station; and receiving a downlink signal from the base station based on the configuration information, the downlink signal including downlink data. The downlink data includes a unicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and/or a multicast/broadcast PDSCH, the unicast PDSCH includes a dynamically scheduled unicast PDSCH and/or a unicast semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) PDSCH, and the multicast/broadcast PDSCH includes a dynamically scheduled multicast/broadcast PDSCH and/or a multicast/broadcast SPS PDSCH. The present disclosure improves the efficiency of uplink or downlink transmission.

 determining a dynamic hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook including HARQ-ACK codebooks for the multicast DCI formats, wherein, in the dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook, the HARQ-ACK codebooks for the multicast DCI formats are ordered in ascending order of values of parameters corresponding to the HARQ-ACK codebooks for the multicast DCI formats; and

 wherein the uplink grant DCI format includes a downlink assignment index (DAI) field associated with the HARQ-ACK codebooks for the multicast DCI formats, and 
 wherein the DAI field indicates a value corresponding to a total DAI applied to each of the parameters to determine the HARQ-ACK codebooks for the multicast DCI formats in the dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK codebooks for the multicast DCI formats are multiplexed in the PUSCH.
